Duran Duran have been international pop icons for over 30 years, penning such instantly recognizable '80s hits as "Rio" and "Hungry Like a Wolf." Their concerts are exciting, high-energy affairs where fans can come as they are and rock out to songs that speak to them. Performances are often held in large venues where fans can sit enjoy the ambiance while singing along with the band. Ticket holders were thrilled in 2011 when original band members reunited to cut the? band's newest album, All You Need Is Now. Even better, in 2012, Duran Duran released a live recording of its Diamond in the Mind tour, so fans could relive the excitement of seeing the band in person.
Duran Duran's career began in 1978, and the band quickly rose to top-10 status several times over in the early 1980s, in part thanks to being one of the first bands to make music videos for broadcast on MTV. Shortly after creating a controversy with their "Girls on Film" video, which was considered too risqué at the time, Duran Duran decided to test the American market. They proved to be equally popular abroad and at home, and a pop sensation was born. Throughout the '80s and '90s, the band continued to produce new hits. They are best known for "Hungry Like a Wolf," "Rio" and other songs with strong beats and distinctive lyrics. Since Duran Duran has endured for so many years, going to a concert can be a bonding experience for parents and children, who can both enjoy the band's distinctive sound.

Duran Duran put on an excellent performance! They are amazing!
My wife is a huge Duran Duran fan and neither of us had seen them live. Ticket prices in NYC were astronomical so we looked at their tour schedule and saw they were playing in Allentown. Grabbed some great seats the day they went on sale, for a third of the price at NYC and made the 2 hour drive. Great venue and Duran Duran put on a great show musically and visually! And you can't beat the nearby covered parking for $15! Tip for anyone going to this venue. They dropped the price on tickets to see the show the prior week of and tickets could be had for only $54! Don't know if that's a regular thing but worth a look in the future.
All I can say is that Duran Duran still has "it"they were great
Duran Duran DID NOT DISAPPOINT! They still got it, 100%
I’d love the new album and how they integrated the songs into some older songs. It was absolutely the best concert from Duran Duran and I seem so far.
First, Duran Duran is an mazing band and they knocked it out of the park with their sound and visuals at the Allentown show on October 21, 2024. No quibbles here. They are as tight a band as they were the first time I saw them in 1983, maybe even more so as they have become better musicians. The Wild Boys were just that! My problem was the set list. This was billed as the tour to support Danse Macabre, their newest Halloween themed album. They played several songs from. Danse Macabre, covers and reworked songs from other albums, except.. the title track and the other single they released on video, "Black Moonlight."Why? Why didn't they play these tracks when they played covers from Danse Macabre: Billy Eilish's "Bury a Friend,"ELO'S "Evil Woman,"and Talking Heads "Psycho Killer."All played and presented spectacularly. Were they saving these tracks for the Madison Square Garden show on Halloween? Unfortunately, this will be the last time I see them live (4 times is enough) and I didn't get to see their new tracks from Danse and Future Past like the excellent "Anniversary."Disappointing. I question my interest in future albums. We'll see.
While it was great to see a band I loved in my younger days, you could tell his voice was straining quite often to rise above the music. They played a few covers which were fun, like White Lines. But unless you are a super fan I would save your money.
I flew in from Chicago to see this show and I don’t regret it for a second. I brought my 11 year old daughter and she was rocking out with the rest of us, their music is timeless. Simply put, Duran Duran was amazing, straight up the best concert I have seen in years. I cannot wait to see them again, though next time I hope they’ll have a show closer :).
We had amazing seats we were so close the venue is great! It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen
